Chapter 160 Professor McGonagall
Chapter 160 Professor McGonagall
This familiar footsteps is actually not difficult to guess.
Because in the entire Hogwarts, there is only one teacher who often walks around wearing high heels——
That is their vice president, Professor Vita Rozier.
Matthew stopped quickly. He was not willing to meet Professor Rozier so late at night.
Otherwise, with the "serious" demeanor of this Defense Against Dark Arts professor, he would definitely have a "teaching" with him, and he might even go to Professor Slughorn to confirm... So what happened to him sneaking out of the banquet? But everything was exposed.
Therefore, he could only pray secretly, hoping that Professor Rosier would not come here.
The footsteps of the vice-principal are getting clearer and closer...
But soon, Matthew noticed that she didn't seem to be alone.
"Many portraits can prove that, Professor Rozier, just at noon yesterday, someone broke into the principal's office..." A middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded.
Matthew was stunned for a moment before he realized that the owner of the voice seemed to be Neville's father, Mr. Frank Longbottom.
Matthew remembered that Mr. Longbottom had a high position in the Ministry of Magic and now seemed to be the leader of the Aurors stationed at Hogwarts.
He suddenly realized that he was eavesdropping on some very important and secret information... He quickly held his breath to prevent the other party from discovering it.
"What kind of person broke into the principal's office?" However, Professor Rozier didn't seem to notice Matthew's presence, she asked coldly.
"According to the description of the portrait I witnessed, she is an old lady wearing square glasses and with curly black hair tied into a high bun..." Mr. Frank Longbottom replied, "But we are still unable to find out her identity... She probably sneaked into the principal's office for about five minutes..."
"Damn it!" Professor Rozier couldn't help but curse. "We were not careful and were fooled... What's the situation in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Nothing was found...the dementors almost turned the Forbidden Forest upside down..." Frank Longbottom said with some regret, "The big black dog left long ago. He is most likely an Arnie." Magus; but even among the records about Animagus in Europe, we have not found any wizard who can turn into a black dog..."
"Strengthen the defense of Hogwarts!" Professor Rosier paused for a moment and ordered.
"Okay, ma'am..." Mr. Frank Longbottom seemed to nod.
The sound of their conversation became quieter and quieter, and their footsteps became farther and farther away, until Matthew could no longer hear them at all.
Matthew couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Fortunately, they didn't go towards him, so he didn't seem to be discovered.
Moreover, judging from the descriptions of Mr. Longbottom and Professor Rosier, the big black dog that suddenly appeared in the Forbidden Forest yesterday seemed to be just to attract the attention of dementors, Aurors and teachers at Hogwarts. force……
As for those fugitives from Azkaban (or the remaining Order of the Phoenix forces at Hogwarts), their real purpose is still in the principal's office——
There seemed to be something extremely attractive to them in the office that was supposed to belong to Principal Gellert Grindelwald...
Also, the old lady who sneaked into the principal's office as described by Mr. Frank Longbottom is very similar to Professor Minerva McGonagall, the transfiguration teacher from another world!
That is to say, except for James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pedillo mentioned by Slughorn...
Professor McGonagall, she is actually lurking in Hogwarts now!
……
This shocking news that was suddenly "overheard" did not interfere with Matthew's rest at night.
Instead, it diverted his attention away from Professor Horace Slughorn's somewhat weird party.
Early the next morning, he quickly asked his roommate Draco Malfoy if there was any "accident" at yesterday's dinner...
However, the answer he got was no.
In fact, last night's banquet went extremely smoothly without any surprises.
Malfoy also showed off happily that he got a signed photo of Gwenog Jones... Miss Gwenog Jones also commented on him and said that Malfoy has the potential to become a professional seeker in the future ( Matthew takes this mostly as a compliment).
This made Matthew stunned.
so--
Was it really just my own random thoughts last night?
Professor Horace Slughorn's purpose is very simple, just to let them have a good exchange with the students who have graduated from Hogwarts (honor students)...
Is he just being paranoid and fighting with the air the whole time?
Matthew frowned slightly. Although he didn't want to believe it, judging from the current situation, it seemed like this...the intuition he had always been "proud of" suddenly failed this time.
And at breakfast, Miss Elaine Shafiq suddenly found him.
"Matthew, why didn't I see you last night?" She asked in surprise, "I remember that you should have attended last night's banquet..."
"Yes, Elaine," Matthew nodded, with a troubled look on his face, "It's just that at the banquet yesterday, I may have eaten a little too much, and then I accidentally had diarrhea... I went to the bathroom several times. , stayed there for a long time...and then simply returned to the Slytherin common room..."
"That's such a pity... The opportunity last night was too rare," Elaine said with regret. She quickly asked with some concern, "By the way, are you okay now?"
"You'll be fine after a little rest..." Matthew said quickly.
"When you eat in the future, be careful..."
After exchanging casual greetings with Elaine Shafik, Matthew quickly left the auditorium and began to head to the greenhouse, using the excuse of attending an herbal medicine class.
This herb lesson was a lot easier than before since I no longer had to take care of those damn flor flowers.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
After the herbal medicine class ended, they received another "good news"——
The next Transfiguration class was temporarily canceled due to Professor Severus Snape's untimely commitment.
The second-year students in Slytherin were naturally happy because they had another half-day holiday.
Matthew was a little surprised...
Professor "Severus Snape", is there something temporarily wrong?
He suddenly thought of the conversation between Principal Rosier and Mr. Frank Longbottom that he overheard last night...
Could it be that what Professor "Snape" calls "something" is related to these things...
Matthew thought to himself.
